A group of Kenyans on Facebook are in distress after losing almost Ksh 300 million to Passy Ma Trevor, who had promised to pay them a 23.5% monthly interest on their investment.
When she announced that she was looking for investors in 2022, the investors, who are primarily her fans because she is a brave HIV activist, fell for the scam.
Her public acts of kindness, such as organising fundraisers (later revealed to be self-enrichment scams), influenced unsuspecting investors to seize the chance to generate additional income.
She invested millions in her scheme since she also launched a new land firm that was selling plots via the Lipa Mdogo Mdogo Plan.
To them, she was a business expert who would double their money.
So without due diligence or having met her in person, the investors who were in droves like the Serengeti wildebeests sent their hard-earned millions, not knowing that she was forwarding the same texts to all of them.
Some individuals withdrew millions from their savings, while others pursued higher incomes through loans, accounting for 23.5% of the total.
Others introduced their family and friends to this get-rich-quick scheme and invested heavily, waiting for profits.
Meanwhile, all she did was edit the messages, wait for new investors, and party after party because she was a small girl and a big god.
Money was not a problem. When people questioned her about the deal, something was evident in her posts.
Arrogantly, she asserted that Ksh 550k was insignificant because she had already used it to purchase her bed.
In addition, she would prepare spaghetti and chicken for her dog, who, according to her, had grown tired of eating Ugali like a regular peasant.
She was clearly wealthy, and she did not want to scam anyone. She enticed unsuspecting investors to increase their investments, even risking their medical funds, as she promised to pay them 23.5% at the end of the month, a promise that never came to pass.
The lady built herself a palatial home, bought cars from her boyfriend’s company, and funded their expensive lifestyle.
All this while saying, “God, your daughter is grateful.”
Luckily, her 40th day arrived yesterday, and investors are now on her neck, but as it stands, she’s nowhere to be found.
Her mom, who is in Sudan, registered the properties she bought, leaving the investors in a state of confusion. Now victims are asking DCI to track down the scammer and refund all the money.
